Animal Collective - Guy’s Eyes (Song)
Guy’s Eyes is a song by Animal Collective which appears on their 2009 record, Merriweather Post Pavilion. Opening up with a somewhat confusing sound, I personally find the several layers of vocals to actually sound confusing at the start of this track rather than creating a whole and harmonious …

Big Brother & The Holding Company by Janis Joplin
This it the title of the first album from Janis Joplin. It was released in 1967. Here Janis still has that fresh and young voice, which is already very specific and strong. The reason why it is still a bit “fresh” is because at that time she had not …

The Grateful Dead - American Beauty
Overview - American Beauty, the fifth album by The Grateful Dead, continues in the same style of they started with on Workingman’s Dead by writing from more of a folk rock and country style rather than the electric and psychedelic driven songs from their first three albums. I’ll say …

Backspacer, 2009 Album by Pearl Jam
As far as Pearl Jam are concerned, I have never been their biggest fan. I always had a kind of appreciation for their music. But I never took that into my heart. I appreciated the fact that they are making serious rock music. But I simply did not think …
Album : Survivor - Survivor (1979)
While Survivor may be known widely as that band who wrote EYE OF THE TIGER and BURNING HEART for the rocky movies, fans of the band like myself know that there is oh so much more to them than those two hits.

Barbra Streisand: A Love Like Ours CD
I’ve loved Barbra Streisand my entire life and never have I seen her happier than when she married James Brolin a decade or so ago. In ways, she’s been almost giddy, and as a fan, that’s fun to see. As Barbra says in the liner jacket for …

Days Of Elijah by Paul Wilbur

The lyrics talk clearly about the …

Mighty to Save by Reuben Morgan

I like the way Reuben sings the song because it …
AC/DC-Walk All Over You (song)
The song walk over you is one of AC/DC’s songs that have a lot of aggression in. This song off the album Highway to Hell would have to be one of my favorites on the album. The intro is made up of slow distortion power chords played by …
I am—¦, Sasha Fierce
Two albums with different colors released at the same time. Perhaps that is the definition of the third album from Beyonce. According to her, the album represents the character, meanwhile, another album is the depiction of an alter ego, Sasha Fierce. There was a little bit personal. According to …

Yamaha DJX keyboard
This keyboard was produced in 1998, and was one of Yamaha’s first keyboards to focus explicitly on re-creating DJ, club, dance, and hip hop sounds. As you scroll through the many pre-programmed beats in the machine, you’ll hear samples of “Lady” (D’Angelo), “Rapper’s Delight”, and even a …

Tri-Polar (Album by Sick Puppies)
Tri-Polar is the third album by the australian pwer-trio Sick Puppies.
As always one of the things that stays up on this album are the bass lines, some not for it’s level or difficulty, but for it’s creativity and the way it fits the song, i guess that the best …

Iida 5-String Banjo
I purchased the Iida 5-String Banjo in 1974. This particular model is not for beginners but at the same time its not a high end instrument. I’ve used it for 35 years playing it for family, friends, and on stage professionally. The banjo features a heavy mahogany resonator, steel …
4 Minutes by Madonna Featuring Justin Timberlake

Future - DS2 album
Decadence, codeine, autotune - what does DS2 sound like, the key album of the last five years.
